Regional basic sports qualification method: economic and statistical provisions

Аннотация

Objective of the study was to develop a regional basic sports selection/ qualification method using modern economic mathematics to match the findings with the actual basic sports reported by the regional sports authorities, with the Udmurt Republic taken for the case study.

Methods and structure of the study. It was in 2013 that the national Ministry of Sports issued a basic sports qualification procedure for the constituents of the Russian Federation effective for four-year periods.

We mined the input data for our basic sports qualification method in the annual governmental statistical reports 1-FK of 2014-2017 and 2018-2020 submitted by the Udmurt Republic regional executive offices to the Ministry of Sports. The yearly data arrays in these reports are provided in matrices with 73 lines that list the local sports and 18 columns with 14 statistical indices plus 3 expert ones. The sport discipline priority for basic sports qualification is specified in a binary column as 0 for non-basic and 1 for basic sports. We applied the commonly used data mining technique to find the potential correlations and logics in the input data arrays.

Results and conclusion. The study demonstrated benefits of the new regional basic sports qualification method that takes into account the actual progress indices of every sport discipline for the prior periods.
